I have been offered a contract role for 4 months in Austria. I am a kiwi and need a visa to work in the UK or Austria but a UK company has suggested the best way to manage this would be to transfer my work permit to them and have the contracting company pay them and they will pay me a salary, minus their commission. As it is less that 6 months I should be able to work in Austria saying I am on a business trip (as long as I am not present for more than 90 days at a time).
My question is as an alternative and a much cheaper solution is it possible for me to set up a UK limited company (or have a friend with residency set it up) before my current visa expires and have the contracting company pay into my/my friends UK account. I would not have a UK work permit as I am not actually working in the UK is it required? Seems there is something I am missing so I would appreciate any advice.
